Pronunciation: /ˌæməˈɡɑɹki/

Sentence: We told him that his significant smother wasn't really controlling enough to constitute an amogarchy, but it was just a foma.

Etymology: from amo- (romantic love) and -archy (government)

COMMENTS:

Significant smother works better than amogarchy, which I'd have as "a system of rule by lovers"- a truly scary notion. Still, the sentence alone is worth a vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-17: 13:17:00

Thanks, and I agree that "significant smother" is better, but I never like having to cram two-word terms into a one-word entry. - ErWenn, 2007-04-17: 14:05:00

Pronunciation: mon og am po lyze

Sentence: Mona had become very possessive towards Monty since they had gotten married.

Her every action and word was focussed on her vigilant ability to monogampolize him and ensure that he was never diverted from adoring her. Mona should learn to lighten up...just because you are on a strict diet, doesn't mean that you can't look at the menus!
